Rong Xiu was silent for a moment.

He didn't expect that his father asked him to come this time because of this matter.

"Father, the emperor, the emperor has not married yet. It seems a bit too early to consider these things..."

Emperor Jiawen snorted coldly.

"No of your royal brothers can make me worry-free! It's better not to mention it! I haven't been able to take care of you for so many years. Now I will naturally help you choose a suitable marriage for myself!"

Emperor Jiawen raised his chin:

"I know that you have not been back for a while and rarely go out. I am not very familiar with these women in the imperial capital. The portraits are there, so you can choose them first. If you like them, just talk to me."

Emperor Jiawen waved his hand and looked like Rong Xiu chose, he immediately gave him a marriage.

This scene made Rong Xiu feel a little amused.

He didn't even look at the portraits, and said bluntly:

"Father, my son is weak and sick since childhood. If he gets married, it will only cause trouble. This matter should be put aside for the time being."

"What are you saying? Whoever can marry you is her blessing! Whoever dares to say you are in trouble? Just pick it!"

When Emperor Jiawen heard Rong Xiu say this, his face immediately lengthened a lot.

Speaking of which, Rong Xiu was the prince who had been with him for the shortest time. Logically speaking, the relationship between the father and son is not very deep.

But in fact, no one knows that the child he loves the most is this child.

"The four girls in the Si family have good talents and temperaments. Unfortunately, they are a concubine. It is not enough to be worthy of you. But if you like it, it is not bad to marry a concubine first. The Lu family is born in a businessman, and the women in the family also have some power, which I don't like; although the eldest daughter of the Yang family has a little mediocre qualifications, she has no appearance and temper. She can afford the words "gentle and virtuous". You can take a look first; by the way, there is also the daughter of Zhenbeihou, you--"

Emperor Jiawen almost said all the most outstanding noble ladies in the entire imperial capital.

In ordinary people, all these women are from noble births and are excellent no matter which one they look for.

However, in the eyes of Emperor Jiawen, they all have various shortcomings.

It's no wonder that he has made most women look overshadowed by Rong Xiu's appearance alone.

Besides, he is still the only two princes who have titles. Once they get married, they will be honored and favored.

Emperor Jiawen followed and looked a little higher, which was understandable.

As for Rong Xiu's body... in his opinion, this is not a big problem at all.

Rong Xiu looked at Emperor Jiawen with an enthusiastic look, raised his eyebrows slightly, then clenched his fist with one hand, and coughed twice on his lips.

Emperor Jiawen paused and looked at him worriedly:

"Why are you starting to cough again? Is your health not yet recovered?"

Rong Xiu shook his head, his lips were pale, and he smiled:

"The son is fine, the father doesn't have to worry - cough cough -"

Seeing him like this, Emperor Jiawen lost the intention to continue the topic.

"Forget it, since you don't want to, I won't talk about it today. However, you should still take this matter to heart. If you have time, go out and walk around more and see if you like it. I can't help you with the decision, everything depends on yourself."

Rong Xiu bowed slightly:

"Thank you, Father, for your understanding."

Emperor Jiawen shook his head and sighed.

"I don't know what kind of woman you like..."

What kind of woman does he like?

A bright and beautiful face flashed through Rong Xiu's mind.

Although he is a little immature, he has already seen the glory for the first time.

Especially those eyes, as bright as the starry night.

His eyes moved slightly, covering the expression in his eyes.

"My son has something to ask for."

"Oh? After you came back to the imperial capital, you have been resting in the mansion. This is the first time you have taken the initiative to make a request to me. It's really rare - let me tell you!"

Rong Xiu pondered for a moment.

"My son has been away for many years and has never had the opportunity to worship his mother well. When he comes back this time, he wants to do his duty as a son."

When Rong Xiu mentioned his mother's wife, Emperor Jiawen was stunned for a moment, then leaned into the chair dejectedly, sighed, and closed his eyes.

“…She has indeed been away for many years…”

At this moment, Emperor Jiawen seemed to have grown much older, with his tone of unconcealed regrets and remembrances.

"You still remember your mother's tomb, it's great. But you should also know... there is no mother's tomb in the imperial tomb."

Rong Xiu looked calm.

"I know. I remember that my mother had been in Tianlu Academy for a long time?"

"Yes. At that time, she... refused to live in the palace, so she went to Tianlu College. Your mother had a good relationship with the dean of Tianlu College, and she was very talented and capable, so she worked as a teacher in the college. She lived there for two years until she died and never came back."

Emperor Jiawen said slowly, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

But the helpless and nostalgic look and the slightly trembling hands all showed that his heart was not that calm.

Although many years have passed, that person and those things are still deeply engraved in his heart and cannot be erased.

Rong Xiu gave him a quiet look, his eyes calm and without any turbulence.

It seemed that I didn't care about Emperor Jiawen at all.

But he quickly curled the indifferent expression.

"So, I want to go to Tianlu Academy to see where my mother has been. I wonder if you can allow it?"

Emperor Jiawen opened his eyes.

The boy in front of him became much taller unknowingly. He stood there straightened his spine, and the sun shone on his jade-like face, so clear.

He and her are very similar.

Especially the faint alienated and noble atmosphere between the eyebrows and eyes is like carved from a mold.

Therefore, every time he sees this face, he always feels extra patient and caring.

"I naturally won't disagree. But I have to ask the dean what he meant for this matter. Most people in Tianlu College cannot enter, but your mother's status is different, and maybe the dean will be particularly lenient to you."

Rong Xiu's thin lips slightly picked.

"The son-in-law had written a letter to greet the dean before, and he had agreed."

Emperor Jiawen was stunned and then said:
Chapter completed!
